lol, you play it in half life. unless your mapping cs, which is a very bad idea if youre just beginning.

Err, does a new window appear and show up some text messages before HL starts?
Try to check the 'don't run the game' checkbox before you start compiling.

Have you tried the tips I wrote above.
If you activate this checkbox, HL shouldn't be started.

Have you set up the build programs correctly?
Posted 19 years ago2004-06-23 16:22:26 UTC Post #35776
The build programs?

game executable
CSG executable
BSP executable
VIS executable
RAD executable

it says (in the half life consol) "map change failed: could not find cool map on server" (cool map is the name of my map) i have made the build programs now... what next :confused:

First thing: remove the space from the name of the map. It'll spare you a lot of trouble.
Second: If all the progs are setup correctly, you should now be able to compile the map by pressing F9. That's written in the tutorial, too.

This is weird. Usually a menu showing different options should appear.
Try to reinstall worldcraft.

So you're making a CS map?
CS maps require an info_player_deathmatch to appear in the map list, add one.
You can play the map singleplayer by typing 'map mapname' into the console.

hmm... im making a map for a mod called esf... the teams are good and evil... what should i do then?

Go to the folder of this mod.
Look for the 'liblist.gam' file.
Open it and search the point 'multiplayerentity' (something like that).
There you'll see which entity must be in the map to make it appear in the MP map list.
You still can play the map single player with the console commands.
